Day 41

Starting Weight - 18st 4lbs

Target Weight - 16st 4lbs

Current Weight - 17st 6lbs

First stumbling block, no weight loss this week. Need to up the exercise though as this is the stage I normally fail at past weigh loss challenges so must battle through!

Hard weekend coming up, out on a stag weekend so I expect some weight gain therefore excercise in the week will be important to try and balance it all out I think!

WEEK ONE loss =  7.5lbs.

Week TWO Loss = 3lbs.

Week THREE Loss = 2.5lbs

Week FOUR loss = 2lbs

Week FIVE loss = 2lbs

Week SIX Loss = 1.5lbs

Week SEVEN loss = 1lb

TOTAL loss so far, after 50 days, = 22.5lbs.

March 30th - 12st 6lbs (0.5lbs loss)
   
 
Week 8 Target - 1lb loss

Month Two Target - 7lbs loss loss. 4.5lbs achieved after first 3 weeks. 

Average loss per week after 7 weeks = 3lbs.   

I never realised that one of my life heroe's was taking part in this, and Tikay as well  and I feel I am carrying a bit too much Terry at the moment I shall be joining the merry band but first need to get my bodyfat % measured before setting my goals!!

Negotiated Easter OK, which had been a bit of a concern, but held the discipline well.

Intend to change the balance a bit, & cut down to ONE latte per day, & replace that "saving" with more/better food.

I plan to add rice to my evening meal, mixed in with tinned toms & microwaved mushrooms, but I'm a bit hazy to the calorie content of rice, as it is different "pre-cooked" & "cooked".

I can spare 250 calories per day & still be inside my target, so will some added rice - a sensible amount - be OK?

That apart, going great guns, & with any luck, the 2 stone target in will be achieved by the end of April, which will be 3 months from commencement.

I can almost smell the sticky buns & pork pies on May 1st.

Rinse repeat, forever more.....

Negotiated it better than I did then

I wasn't too bad really, but put on a few lbs in water through excessive egg consumption...

Plain white rice I have as this per 100g cooked weight.

   
Protein:  3g                                 
Carbs:  30g                              
Fat:       1g
Cals:     141

Thanks Marky.

Sorry to be a pain, but can you please express 100g (cooked weight) in something I can understand?

How much of a regular-sized cup or mug is "100g cooked weight"? Half a cup, a full cup?

Incidentally, my Diet-regime is rather primitive, I ONLY concentrate on Calories, or "Kcals" as I think they are now described. I have no idea about those other things.

In my world "protein" is something linked with DNA & RNA, "carbs" go on a car, for feeding petrol to the engine thing, & "fat" is Red-Dog.

Think a normal portion of rice would be between 100-200g (cooked), which would be about half a cup uncooked?  But that's just a guess, so could be way out.

Thanks, that was what I needed to know.

This is absolutely miles out!!! It'll be fun if you try it but expect a huge plate full of rice if you boil half a cup!!

I use a little protein scooper to measure out my rice. It's about the size of an egg cup but without the egg shape at the bottom. Cylindrical would be a better description.

I'd estimate about 45mm in diameter and 60mm in height. About the size of a stack of 15 chips.

Not sure what the cooked weight is but it's 50g uncooked and I'd guess it at least triples when cooked.

[tikay]

Thanks Matt. I'll use an egg-cup full less a bit.

We speak a similar language.

For non-cooking things, a Squash Court is my usual "comparision" method of measurement.

I think it's normally 4x the weight once cooked, but you can check it yourself if you have some scales.

My scales are in pounds & ounces, proper weights them.

In that case, 2oz uncooked should produce around 8oz once cooked

I use the cup that came with my rice cooker and use a full cup for a portion for me.



Like I said, no idea how close that is to its cooked weight, or how large a 'portion' is.

I so wish I could still run and in turn eat normal portions of carbs
